Purple lavender fields

Posted on Oktober 27th, 2014

Now we stuck in the deep autumn fog. There are no sun rays coming through the thick gray mass. And after a really cloudy summer the sad thing is, the clouds are gone now. There are no clouds above us, if I would go up over 1400m then I could see the bluest sky you can imagine.
Therefore I need a memory for a sunny day in a warm summer, like here in the Provence. It was a warm, sunny and the air was filled of the fragrance from the lavender fields all around us.
Ahh, now the gray autumn day isn’t as bad as it was before

The lavender of Banon

Posted on Juni 13th, 2014

Last year we visited the Provence a region in France. We choosed the time when the lavender bloom is most impressive, in the middle of July. First I had some trouble to find larger lavender fields, but after a few tours with the car, I found some really nice places.
So I found this field with the lovely small and picturesque village of Banon. I was there while the hot sun was shining in the middle of the day. But what a boring images do you get at this time. As you know me, I like the nights for photo shooting, therefore I came back short after the sunset and took this colorful image of Banon and the surrounded lavender fields.
